Wyatt was considered one of the top prospects for the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[10] He was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the second round with the 51st overall pick,[11] and signed for $1 million.[12] He made his professional debut with the Arizona League Giants, and, after seven games, was promoted to the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes.[13] After 18 games with Salem-Keizer, he earned a promotion to the Augusta GreenJackets. Over 44 games between the three clubs, he batted .278 with three home runs and thirty RBIs.[14]
